Trail design, development, and maintenance are key components of the MCMBA and mountain biking in Michigan. Our trail design volunteers are trained by IMBA using standards developed by the National Park Service and National Forest Service.

Each summer, Community Financial Credit Union celebrates the organizations that help communities thrive by donating $1,000 each day for 60 days to area non-profits, educational, and community groups. The Motor City Mountain Biking Association was honored to be selected as one of these organizations in July.

Get ready for the 9th Annual Tree Farm Relay Event at Lakeshore Park in Novi, presented by the MCMBA and Team Tree Farm. This is the same format you have all grown to love… a unique 4-person team relay race! The course features lots of hills, passing zones and fun! This is a perfect race for the beginner looking to see what team / endurance racing is all about and for experienced racers looking to test their skills against rival teams. If you want to try an endurance race, but aren’t ready for the distance, this is the perfect event for you to see what the team racing concept is all about.

We changed the start of the Sport class last year to ease up congestion, and it worked great so we’ll do it again. Plus, we are officially changing the “Other” category into a Costume category. It will be the same distance as all Sport classes, but a time bonus will be rewarded for the best costumes. You don’t have to finish first to get first place!!!

Join us at the 9th annual Milford Challenge, a family friendly celebration of the great singletrack trails surrounding scenic Milford.

Please stop by, share your stories and adventures with other riders, and enjoy the food and vibes of downtown Milford!Participation fee is still just $15, and all proceeds benefit the MCMBA and support the local trails that you love.
